Global Innovation and Design Award
Ayda Kedirkhan received a Global Innovation and Design Award for fall quarter 2020.
The competitive program, offered by the Institute for Innovation & Global Engagement, provides a financial stipend, academic credit and the opportunity to work on two to five community design projects during the quarter.
In addition, awardees are encouraged to take on their own design projects.
Kedirkhan conducted a student-led project, "Designing for a BIPOC-inclusive Minor in Innovation and Design." She gathered student data and developed a plan to ensure the inclusivity of UW Tacoma's new innovation and design minor.
